🚨 FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has filed an appeal challenging his fraud conviction and 25-year prison sentence.

The appeal criticizes decisions by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, claiming they hampered his defense and created an unfair trial environment.

Bankman-Fried’s legal team argued that the judge’s decisions, including blocking certain defenses and limiting testimony, biased the trial.

The appeal requests a new trial by a different judge, claiming the original proceedings were marred by judicial bias.
